Southeastern Council Federation of Fly Fishers

What is a Council?

The Federation of Fly Fishers is divided among 13 regional suborganizations, each comprised of affiliated clubs and individual members. When you pay your FFF dues, a percentage goes to the council representing your domicile. The Council in turn uses these funds, along with those raised from it's annual fundraiser (conclave) to fund education, conservation, and outreach programs in your region.

About Us

The South Eastern Council of the Federation of Flyfishers (FFF) represents 20 affiliated clubs and over 900 individual members in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and eastern Tennessee. The FFF consists of clubs and individuals throughout America and the world. The Federation is made up of people who wish to share their sport with others, to foster good sportsmanship, conservation, and ethics. The Federation's mission is to protect all fish in all waters by conserving, restoring, educating through fly fishing.

Education

The SEC-FFF can provide member clubs with casting and fly tying equipment for use in conducting clinics. In addition, it is the charge of the VP-Education to identify worthy and qualified students majoring in a biological or environmental science as potential recipients of the SEC-FFF Council's Scholarship Awards (a $1000 grant was made in 2007, 2008 & 2009). For more details on these and other services, check our Education Page.

Conservation

The SEC-FFF is constantly looking to improve or safeguard our natural resources, not only for the benefit of those we serve, but for all citizens and future generations. Whether it's increasing the productivity of an Appalachian trout stream, or working to restore vital mangrove habitat, the Southeast Council is there to help.

Over the past few years, the council has supported many worthwhile activities including ...

supporting donations for a Fisheries Intern in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park ($3,600 each year in 2007, 2008 & 2009).

Outreach

Fly fishing is a sport steeped in tradition. Passing it on to future generations requires attending to those in the present with a desire to learn the sport, and also to those who have never seen the sport. The primary mission of the SEC-FFF is to outreach to all, regardless of their circumstance, and insure that they have the proper instruction and guidance necessary to succeed. Including a $1,500.00 support for Casting For Recovery participants in their programs.
